A Short, Simple Run to Gatwick

Gatwick is the closest major airport to Thornton Heath, and the route is about as straightforward as London airport trips get. A Thornton Heath to Gatwick taxi normally heads south on the A23 through Croydon and Purley, then joins the M23 for the final stretch to the airport. At quiet times it can take around 35 minutes.

You can book online with the form at the top of this page, or call us at any hour. You see a fixed quote before you confirm. We are a cab facilitator, so we pass your booking to a licensed private hire operator who carries out the journey.

North Terminal or South Terminal?

Gatwick has two terminals, and they are not side by side. A shuttle train links them, but if you are dropped at the wrong one you lose time you may not have. Check your airline before you book and add the terminal to your booking notes. Airlines sometimes switch terminals, so it is worth checking again a day or two before you fly.

Gatwick charges a fee for dropping off at the terminal forecourts. The amount can change, so check the Gatwick website and ask us whether it is in your quote.

Why Not Just Take the Train?

There are trains from East Croydon to Gatwick, and for a light traveller they can work well. But you still need to get from Thornton Heath to East Croydon first, often with luggage, and early morning flights can mean leaving before the first useful trains. A door-to-door minicab removes those steps. For families or groups of three or more, the cost per person is often close to the train once you add up every ticket.

Early Flights and Late Arrivals

Many Gatwick holiday flights leave very early. Book these journeys in advance, ideally a few days ahead, so a car is lined up for the right time. For your return, give us the flight number and landing time, and allow time to collect bags. If your flight is delayed, let us know as soon as you can.

Cars for Every Group Size

A saloon suits one to three passengers with normal luggage. Families travelling with cases, car seats or a pushchair often choose a 6 seater taxi. Larger groups heading off together can book a 7 to 8 seater MPV. Child seats can be requested when booking.

Minicab or Airport Parking?

Driving yourself and parking at Gatwick can look simple, but long-stay parking for a week or two adds up, and you still need to get from the car park to the terminal. With a pre-booked minicab there is no parking fee, no shuttle bus and no searching for your car when you land tired. For a family of four, the cost of a return minicab is often worth comparing with a week of airport parking plus fuel.

A Note on Holiday Season

Summer, Christmas and school half-terms are the busiest times at Gatwick. Roads around Croydon and Purley can also be busier on Friday afternoons as people head south. If you are flying at one of these times, book early and add a little extra time to your pickup.

Pickups Across South London

Most of our Gatwick bookings start in CR7, but we also arrange pickups in South Norwood, Selhurst, Streatham and other nearby areas. Flying from somewhere else? See our Heathrow taxi page or our London City transfers.
